Hope College Theatre will present "Almost, Maine" by John Cariani in the DeWitt Center
studio theatre beginning Friday, Oct. 8.

Performances are scheduled for Friday and Saturday, Oct. 8 and 9, and Tuesday through
Friday, Oct. 12-15. Curtain time for all performances is 8 p.m.

"On a magical winter night in the fictional small town of Almost, Maine, several of
its residents experience both the joy and the disappointment of love," explained Daina
Robins, who is the production's director as well as a professor of theatre and chairperson
of the department. "It's a sweet and funny tale and one that we are hoping will appeal
to our primary intended audience --the students here at college --but will resonate
with anyone who understands the ups and downs of romance."

In addition, to Robins, faculty members working on the production team are Richard
Smith, scenic and properties designer; Michelle Bombe, costume designer; and Perry
Landes, lighting and sound designer. Staff member Paul Anderson is the technical
director, and staff member Darlene Christopher is the costume shop manager.
